Oh yes, "business friendly Arkansas" loses again. When will our politicians wake up and smell the coffee? State government just keeps growing just like the Federal Government. Until voters wake up to the fact that "government" takes more from you than in gives you nothing is going to change.

You folks might be right about Arkansas, but there might be a whole lot more to the story. I don't have a huge problem with Whirlpool as long as they are making quality products in the States and we are not importing.

A good portion of what the Ft. Smith plant (which should be fully shut down by July)makes is now being produced in Mexico (side by sides). I am not sure where all of the production from the old Maytag plant in Searcy went but I can pretty well guarantee some of it went to Mexico too. Two Arkansas plants shut down by Whirlpool and we don't get the new one. That is not too good for Arkansas
